In general, I find that cycling the key, like you're doing, is very effective, 
because the biggest problem with starting the FI cars is that there is often no 
fuel in there when you first turn the key. Cycling the key runs the pump thru 
its startup cycle each time, which fills the lines and gets the pressure up to 
where the FI can work.

I mount a small pushbutton under the dash to do this. Just holding it in for a 
few seconds runs the pump and primes this system. It works really well, and 
installs easily without requiring any damage to the existing system. I have 
these switch assemblies available for sale. They work on any year type 3 FI 
system.
